FACED GLOVE Filed Feb. 20, 1929. 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented Feb. 24, 1931 UNITED STATES HERMAN GILLIAN, OF COLUMBUS, OHIO FACE-D GLOVE Application filed February 20, 1929. Serial No. 341,486.

This invention relates to gloves having fabric bodies and wear facings.

This invention has utility when incorporated in so-called canvas or work gloves hav- 5 ing wear resistant facing as palm and finger portions.

Referring to the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the invention in a glove;

)0 Fig. 2 is a back view of the glove of Fig.

1, parts being broken away;

Fig. 3 is a view on a reduced scale of the gauntlet blank for the glove;

Fig. 4 is a view of the cloth finger and hand back blanks as assembled say for a single die having a common cutting edge for determining contour therebetween;

Fig. 5 is a view of the glove front facing as a palm, thumb finger and wrist extension unit;

Fig. 6 is a view of a group of intermediate fin er-tip backs or facings;

ig. 7 is a view of a group of facing blanks for little finger backs having common die cutting line therebetween as grouped in a single die;

Fig. 8 is a view of a plurality of index finger back tip facings as grouped into multiple die having common cutting line re gions therebetween;

Fig. 9 is a View of the thumb back facing blank;

Fig. 10 is a view of a pair of thumb back lining blanks as having common cutting line therebetween a grouped in a multiple die; and

Fig. 11 is a view of a pair of glove front lining blanks as having common interfitting line for multiple die cutting without waste between the index finger tip and little finger base.

The glove front lining is shown as having wristward terminus 1 and extending therefrom parallel sides 2, 3, to width reducing sides 4, 5, where parallel sides 6, 7 determine the maximum finger width which is less than that of the palm width (Fig. 11). However, in the palm region there is thumb inside portion 8. The clearance regions between the index finger side 6 and little finger side 7 are parallel and reversely symmetrical, to the end that a companion blank fully interfits, therewith in multiple die having a single cutting edge therebetWe-en;

In practice, this front lining may be of a satisfactory lining stock, economically cut in such manner as to. provide a material saving in yardage as well as cost per yard. l:he front lining is of a dissimilar material from the finger backs which have parallel hand back sides 8, 9, extending from-wristward terminus 10 with Widening portions 11 to finger back portions 12 asjthe wider. region of the finger back extending to finger termi nus 13.= These finger back elements maybe of fabric and of a higher grade and wear resisting material than that of; the palm 1 ining, as-these'portions are exposed to wear at; the back portions of the fingers. 7

From tip portion 1 1, the thumb back Lin: ing has diverginglines 1-5 (Fig. 10) to short receding sides 16 extending to base 17 at the wristward'portion of the lining to be assembled with the wristward termini -1 and 10 and thegauntlet 18. These; fabric. portions of the glove in the article as herein produced have the glove. life extended by proyiding wear facing portions say of greater resistance. ,These wear facing portions may be of leather.

Wear face having palm 19 is shownashaving palm eXtensi nQO. rearward therefrom asa wrist covering upon, the gauntlet portionof the glove. Thisgpalm facing is shown ing 27 (Fig. 8), the tip portion of which is of identical contour with base portion 28 in the interfitting assembly. The intermediate finger back tip facings 29 are also shown as having tip portions 30 (Fig. 6) of identical contour with base portions 31 for interfit- Palm sides ting assembly with diverging sides 82 and converging sides 33. Reversely identical sinuous grouping may be arranged for multiple die single cutting edge therebetween inclependently of waste.

The little finger fractional portion 24 at the edge 22 determines straight side 34 for little finger back tip 35 (Fig. 7 having convex terminus 36 of identity with concave base side 37. This feature of the tip and base identity of the back facing for the index, intermediate and little finger blanks permits the nesting of these blanks for separate dies or multiple dies with common cutting edge therebetween. Facing 38 for the upper thumb back completes the elements of this glove.

, In the assembly, the termini or finger tip portions of the linings and facings are caught with threads in the assembly of the digit back tips with the unitary palm. 1 This leavesthe parallel sides 22, 28, without assembly, and at these sides the closing of the glove is completed by double stitchings 40 extending from the tips of'the respective index and little fingers to the gauntlet. The extension 20 which is integral with the palm facing 19 has gauntlet double stitching lland marginal stitching 42 holding this extension to the gauntlet-in itsmarginal contour.

What is claimed and it is desired to secure by United States Letters Patent is z 1. A glove front lining unit blank having integral palm, thumb, and parallel sided fingers, with the palm of greater width than the outer finger sides, the fingers, tip to crotch, being reversely symmetrical as to the clearance therebetween for finger contour determination of a reversely disposed similar palm, thumb and finger lining blank.

2. A glove front facing blank having a palm, intermediate, index and little fingers, parallel marginal fractional index and little finger backs continuing from the palm sides and extending in one direction therefrom, and a thumb and wrist covering extending oppositely from the palm, all of which comprise asingle integral unit.

In witness whereofI affix my signature.
